very important role for the team all wearing the same same color tops as well but there are some real stars of the show that we expect to play well they'll expect themselves as well to play well paulo igonu an absolute superstar who has been ripping up the record books in terms of points scored and mvps isabella how are you feeling today playing in your first super finals um of course i'm super

different today than your last super finals in 2019 in berlin [Music] i would say yes and no there are two different matches and but i'm feeling excited like i was two years ago so i just think it's normal what will be the focus for keneliano in the game today sorry what will be the focus of your team in the game today [Music] we are going to focus on our game [Music] on doing the best we can to

practice it all season so we just need to play and have fun thanks and good luck with the match today thank you so much blah blah blah well interesting of interesting uh interviews with paolo iguano this is the locker room for vacate bank everyone going through their own personal preparations ahead of this one some players with headphones in some focusing on social media some just keeping themselves to themselves all very different everybody has their own pre-match routine in the same way that everybody has their own pre-server routine everybody needs to get into the right headspace for this competition for this match one of the biggest matches of a player's career outside of playing internationally some last minute preparations on the tactics by the looks of that from rafaela foley [Music] can they lose themselves in the moment can they focus on what needs to be done that is the question oh it's so exciting isn't it in a build-up to a game like this for the players for the fans this was the coin toss earlier the first referee agnieszka mitchell poland presiding over the coin toss and dobromiya the second referee also in attendance just working out exactly where on the court which court there is that they're going to start on this is the road to the finals [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] that was the road to the finals for both teams and this is how they went about their business of getting to this final for vacate bank they had to come from behind in the semi-final having lost 3-2 at home to busto arcizio then they come back and won three-nothing in italy 25-13 25-15 25-15 they were two sets nothing up in at home but then lost the next three so quite a turnaround for them it was uh sailing though for caneliano against navara three nothing three nothing on their route to the final it really has been a very commanding performance from kineliano this season particularly in their domestic league they've won the a1 regular season trophy they've won the super cup and they've won the cup they're the current world club champions as well so this final represents to them the opportunity for a grand slam to win everything they've never won a cv champions league final of caneliano and these two teams actually met in 2016-17 final and there are a few players from both sides who were in attendance then for caneliano it was rafaela foley number seven and monica de genero who played and they're on the losing side but for vacate bank istanbul there were quite a few players and in fact two players kimberly hill and melina rasich were playing for that keith bank but are now playing for caneliano [Music] the players who were involved for vanquished bank who are still playing gazebo and also number three joe asbay the setup kubra who's the captain number eight and also the libero all right eye catch these are well this is the lineup these are the players we get to see them go by keith bank isabella hack who's going to be in the opposite slot has got a lot to do it's going to be such a battle between her and the opposite for caneliano i i catch he's still likely to be the starting libro milena rasich has been superb throughout this competition through the middle and with mayo nyenovitch finding her and plus they have of course gabby gimerich for corneliano they too have a world-class lineup for two setters expect to see as i mentioned at the start that uh wash will be the starting setup diginaro probably the starting libero robin de crowl and sarah farr have been starting but raphael foley may well get a run out kimberly hill through the outside definitely and most likely miriam celia and in the opposite slot palo we gonna no doubt we'll start for caneliano becky bank making their way out onto court [Music] [Applause] please caneliano also now out on court quick lineup chance for a couple of photos and then we will get down to the business of the warm-up and a chance to see the players pre-match in action it's always an interesting moment that for the coaches as well in the war but they know in their heads exactly who they want to start and probably already got that down and mayweather we've written it down but the warm-up does provide an insight into exactly how the players are feeling before the start of the game sometimes it does mean that the coaches might well make a change or someone having an absolute flyer in the warm-up do you suddenly think what to do here maybe they should start but unlikely doesn't happen often no dag though a mixture of nerves and excitement for both teams for both coaches and for all the fans watching the cruelty and the beauty of this sport is that both of these teams step out onto court in this warm-up for this cv super final as equals but only one team will be walking away victorious as champions and all of that will be played out before our eyes here in verona kim hill who has been outstanding for caneliano and soto palo algonu looking at the season comparisons of two outside spikers there's there's so little in it 98 to 80 sets average 3.38 to 2.9 i mean it's minuscule isn't it say even stevens really because what you don't get is with with that particular bit of information is the number of sets that butch hackley got compared to the number of sets that kim hill had as well we know the points scored [Music] and points scored per set but didn't really tell us whether they had a bucket load of sets to try and get that or not there's going to be interesting matchups and interesting battles all over the court gabby versus celia gabby hits the pipe as well so and not only that but silly has been in and out of the team in terms of starting through the outside for corneliano they also have mackenzie adams number 11 from the usa and also italy's loveth omori number nine so whether or not cilia starts really is up to her and how she plays she's a national team player for italy big hitter she's a real a confidence player really when her confidence is high impossible to stop when it's not then she has a few issues gabby is just a phenomenon a unique style of play and this is the big matchup isn't it this is where all eyes will be during the course of this final isabella hark of sweden up against paulo gonna of italy 203 points to 174. now that would suggest maybe isabella huck is doing better than paolo iganu but actually what it probably means is that the distribution between the two teams has been very different isabella hack the go-to player the player that's probably had the most number of sets to get the team out of trouble because she scores so well whereas paolo agano is part of the equation of what caneliano are doing because they've got so many good options and then you just add in the fact that you can go to palo alto and for those of you that watched the world club championships would have seen just how important paolo egano was when she was needed and she came up big time with the points as she's been doing this season in italy one thing that keep bank do have in their arsenal is that player melena rasich in conjunction with maya ognienovich blackie banks middle is a real real threat and a huge danger and colemiano will know that all too well they will no doubt be looking at how they can serve in a way to get vague bank out of system and by that i mean not able to have all the hitting options that may ognerovich would like to stop that keith bank running the middle and if they can do that and then the ball then has to go wide to batch hackley or to isabella hack there's a better chance that canoniano can get more hands against the block against the ball in the block but if they don't serve tough enough and that keith bank have got all options then there could be trouble for corneliano [Music] with such experience a player who has been there and done it serbian former serbian international and that is that middle of locker match-up 99-49 again rasich has actually been set an awful lot more but has played more sets 34 to 18 compared to sarah you've got uh robert de croix probably the main middle for caneliano and uh rafaela foley number seven rosanna but again has uh been playing as libro for the camelliana down his middle blocker as well so just be interesting to see exactly who danielle santarelli decides to start as the other middle blocker you've got to think that the starting lineup is pretty much sorted for keneliana with palo alto opposite joanna vorosh setting kimberly hill outside robin to cripe in the middle and then it's a toss-up between miriam cilia or mackenzie adams outside and sarah far or rafaela foley for vacate bank the side probably a little bit more straightforward in how it picks itself mayor ninevitch setting isabella hack opposite you've got to think that they are two absolute givens michelle march hackley along with gabby through the outside and then in the middle of melena rasich and most likely it will be the other middle blocker for uh could well be kubra akman or melis kenyak but again for uh giovanni guadetti we'll have to wait to see exactly who he puts on that scoresheet we can guess and we can make some very good guesses but until we see it we won't actually know most likely as well sarah ganesh is probably going to be the starting middle blocker for vacuum bank number 18. this is all about the one-off the ability to perform in a one-off game it's not about the long haul it's not about the season although caneliano on a 63 62-63 game winning streak at the moment it's an incredible run that they are having this really their holy grail they've tried before and they haven't made it will this be their year robin de croix certainly will be hoping to help the team achieve that through the middle and was a player actually the 2016-17 final was in between the two clubs from the bank into caneliano didn't actually play in the final but she knows rocky bank players very [Music] well opportunity for the libros now to get a little sense of the space here and also for the passing unit the outside hitters it's quite dark around the edges of the court and that does change the way that you see the ball the way that things move with etti all smiles at the moment but i tell you what things don't end up going his way those smiles will soon change alexander boracic is making a uh presentation to mr zlatko mattia the eoc executive committee member and president of the national olympic committee and it's all to do with uh the support of the eurovoli that has been achieved so a an award going to mr zlatko matissia for his work alexander borisic's the cv president he and the cv and everybody else working tirelessly to get volleyball back on the agenda this is batch hackly and that is what she can do an incredible player bart checkly for the usa for that keith bank [Music] and up against their international compatriot kim hill [Music] that ball stays hit and it's same two for kim hill the competition in the usa for the outside spot is huge kelsey robinson another player three players two spaces and at one point kelsey robinson was being edged out by kim hill kim hill now being edged out a little bit by kelsey robinson and there's rumors that this may well be kim hill's last season at caneliano and indeed with domestic volleyball in that she may well be retiring gabby there's no sign of that for her such an instrumental part of that bank and also of brazil [Music] that is an action but you don't often see torton isn't taught the way that her right hand comes around to attack the ball comes from down to up which normally you teach players to go up with both arms and come back and miriam celia what a player she is when she's getting it going she can hit the ball as hard as anybody there is in the business huge jump huge determination and it set it all in the eyes doesn't it that ball is about to get thumped and she'll be looking to do plenty of that during the course of this match we're almost ready to go the keybank against immoko volley corneliano the super finals here in verona warm up over time for the official team presentations team lineup and the champions league anthem then we'll have the presentation of the referees and then we will have the presentation of the starting players just figuring out where they've got to stand for the moment antenna [Music] [Music] [Music] that's quite a rousing anthem we are getting closer and closer to the first whistle to the moment of truth for what you've all been waiting for for a couple of years now with the cancellation of the champions league but it's back it's bigger than ever and better than ever time to meet the referees magnus giving it poland very experienced referee [Applause] [Music] we'll know if they've had a good game because we won't notice them time to find out who the coaches have decided we'll start this one [Music] so it's hill and cilia foley and de croy for gono and wash and for the keith bank it's ognenovich and hack grimares and also middle blocker so pretty much as we thought and probably as you thought at home [Music] [Applause] gabby going through the outside isabella hack in the opposite slots [Music] [Music] [Music] it's what the players have been waiting for they're now on court just waiting for caneliano to step onto court before both teams have at it here in verona [Music] robin decrypt will be going through the middle and it's number seven rafaela foley who gets the nod at the head of sarah farrell setting number 14 kim hill through the outside as we would have all expected [Music] miriam celia will be starting number 17 ahead of mackenzie adams and that only leaves one more player doesn't it and we all know who that is paulo and gonna of italy in the opposite slot and the starting libro will be monica [Music] bechaner young coach experienced coach though with a very good team at his disposal the players are ready hopefully you're all ready as well as we are about to get this one underway just got to check the rotations before the liberos will come in and then we can get going they'll be nerves for the referees just as there are for the players and for you watching it's the super [Music] finals [Music] it's vague bank istanbul of turkey serving imoco volley corneliano of italy receiving this is the cv champions league super finals here in verona and it is side out for caneliano rafaela foley putting that ball on the floor [Music] confident start for her wash finds it now cilia with the serve going after gabby who in rhythm he's able to thump that one to the line onto volosh it's not brought back and it's won a piece [Applause] slow down first chance here for a break point hack takes it [Music] can't keep it in play good work by that keith bank they slowed down the ball from that attack from kim hill gabby pops it in a goes quickly behind to hack that one's not coming back i keep bank targeting senior agano's first swing is a competent one as you would expect folly now with the serve that's been given us out i think it was in [Applause] so we're going to have our first challenge what do you think i think that's in although everyone else seeks this out if you're supporting caneliano it's miles out and if you're supporting the bank it's miles in it just has to clip any part of the line any part of the ball doing that and it's in oh yes it did clip it it is in it's a good challenge one of the interesting kind of side effects of the challenge system and it's a brilliant system it is absolutely amazing but the human eye as in the lines judges who were previously the only ones who would make those decisions they're not stood in the same place anymore so on the long line where that last ball went out the line judge would be stood looking directly down the line now they have to stand off at an angle because the camera's got to see down the line does that have a bearing on the decisions i'll leave that for you to decide to cruyff getting the swing away both teams going to their middles regularly at the moment not finding the range she wanted with her jump sir that's a great serve and this will be free ball for that and plenty of hitting options including ognenovich but that's well read by de genera cilia can only tip but tips successfully are past the block and on to the sideline way to get the side out after being in real trouble i catch ran in behind the block and then that's a change of direction if she just stayed still and then gone to the side she probably would have got that one there is a lot to be said for defenders not running around like cats on hot tin roofs but actually standing still getting into a neutral position and watching what's going on something that's been commented on by one of the coaching wizards mark leverju who's talking about libros as one of the examples of they look spectacular they make all these touches but don't bring the ball back and when you look back at the footage if they'd have stayed still they would have made a dig that kept the ball in play how many times have you seen that happen barch hackling there with the serve not a bad ball in but can't run the middle cilia is slowed down oh lovely that telepathic reaction between ognjenovich and rasich spent so many years playing volleyball together at the highest level and look at that great movement from russia she's off the net loads of room comes inside to run the slide that's just quality [Music] described because they can run the middle kentucky bank just a down ball coming here oh it should have been a down ball it should have been a ball as well with even some side spin on it but that was celia trying to win the point from that situation when she's in front of the ball she doesn't have the right angle that ball is coming around and across her she was never going to get the contact she wanted in that one wow one she won't want to do again but the target of cilia is working for that kiev bank and it wouldn't surprise me if we see a substitution if syria doesn't get our act together pretty quickly lucky banger going after her and it's working that time though hill's able to play it and gone who has got that one off of the becky bank player or maybe not thought there was block touch but it's been challenged at the moment she's had one swing for a point one serve in the net and this could be an error so it should be minus one if that was the case so far not the best of starts for palo gonu let's see did you catch the block no she did not [Music] maybe just a few nerves apart you think not given the level that she plays at but if you don't have any nerves in a match like this then you don't care nice blocking from cornelianu vacky bank at the minute who are leading the way here that's a really good confidence booster facility to get back into this one actually after shanking a previous pass hack oh another block for celia well if there was any thought that she might be coming off she's doing her absolute best to make sure that those thoughts are being dispelled by the coaching staff two cracking blocks in a row from miriam celia [Music] she's done her homework taking the line away against huck gabby tidies things up for that gift bank a late finish from paulo and gone and she could really just go straight across the net ken powell doesn't need to go up so high particularly against gabby good touch oh and it stays in play and wins the point for that keith bankers everybody for corneliano was looking around for somebody else to play the ball good work from oklahoma because he completely took cilia out of it but didn't take igonu out of it [Music] the pipe being run this is really good play watch out out of nowhere really in fact come inside to hit a half ball in the middle i thought she did the pipe she hasn't she's front court look at that oh my goodness what a swing [Music] good work from kim hill another chance of that keith bank recovered by de janeiro everybody had a system here at the moment a neutral rally going on just not quite clicking for at the moment despite that absolute scorcher of a swing through the middle [Applause] the touch my eye catch and a great swing from bart shackley nobody in the way of that one march happily in a good position comes inside and was given far too much court [Music] mcconnell lining out up not right at all for corneliano heck i'll have another go oh great dig from celia will stay in play oh dear that was such a difficult one to deal with for rafaela foley because it was right on the net couldn't dig it out for anyone else to make the play but an exciting rally such an interesting technique for maya agninovic when she sets behind just she turns her right hand looks like sir palms facing her to set that ball behind they've all called party and his dollars can be longer because she really stopped at one meter before classic live tv so we're watching the caneliano timeout and listening to guadetti talking to that bank sort of impetus at the moment they've not got enough break points they've made too many errors in their side out black bank have been slowing them down and creating these opportunities to put themselves four in front which they've done this is better for me and she's in that kind of form she'd go over the top of the block that's exactly what she's done which means the middles cannot be late against her julia cenari is coming for some serving duty to replace rafaela foley set up my trade big hit from hack hack at the moment is having the better time of it in comparison to a gonu bet there's probably no more than a point or two in it in terms of the stats both teams working really hard to try and reduce the options available to each other because that's what's gonna happen and that's what happens when those options are reduced you're just right we can't get the ball to our middle okay we can't get outside okay i'll tell you what let's go to paolo agano caneliano are thinking that ball is hit above the height of the antenna that's ridiculously good you wonder how good much better perhaps halloween it would be a wonderful block a triple block against hack so you cannot get over the top of that one pretty good work by the craft right across the net right into the space of hack [Music] gone with the servers commenting on let's see you look at her arm swing he doesn't really have a full back with arms go back straight to come right up to throw herself into the air as high as she could go which just makes you wonder how much higher she could go with a full arm swing and really driving up off the floor i don't think anyone would stop her at all ever that's just a clear classic it's like a blocking swing with her arms when you're getting out to go and block with bent arms it's not a an attack arm swing a spike approach swing okay [Music] [Applause] is which has been try to cause trouble with her jump serve good touch really good pick up by eye catch that's a super break point for vacate bank for those of you unsure what a break point is it's a point that's won from the team that was serving and they've done it by getting the ball into transition and then hack with just one step having a swing that's why she's there another massive server time though not finding the court hacks such a great player the swedish international but the player that was probably never going to play in an olympic games sweden will never qualify for an olympic games not in her career but that does throw up other options for huck though and we've seen it in men's volleyball a lot of the cuban players who have naturalized in other countries and then have gone on to represent those countries and go to the olympic games as a result certainly something that for heart is an option how long she stays in one country she stays in turkey long enough she's certainly young enough to do that and have a successful career [Music] just brilliant this is how quickly and how well becky banks are using the ball at the moment fast swing from gabby off and flowers is harm and out of play my italian is not very good at all but certainly talking about the intelligence required to play and being smart about what they're doing it's certainly something that vague bank are being smart about they're going really quite quick ognenovich is going out quick to gary because gabby works better in in that situation you put a high ball out to gabby she's going to be in trouble against the big block that caneliana can put up against her [Music] that's better from her get a good ball in and they can run their middle nice work for us just a little step backwards gets yourself into a good position and the craft is always going to be the winner in that one nice brawling options oh no or complete miscommunication because batch hackney's gone around on the pipe and then so too is hack the gudet is like what's going on there then well kept in play free ball now four attacking options for that keep bang it's the middle and it's rasage but she hasn't found the court that's so unlike rasage what's happened here she's over [Music] within two that's an excellent ball in caneliano will take the point a big break point for them to get themselves back to within one got to stop gabby from doing that love corneliano that's a natural swing her technique wants her to come around the ball as she does here [Music] my wall wash needs to be alert to that she's got to make sure that she's really getting across and turning her hand inside turning her thumb up on her right hand and angling that hand back down and into court [Applause] been frozen out a little bit in this first set [Music] same position here all looks good she's actually then cut inside the ball and hit back outside instead of coming in a little straighter nice early call about well left by celia there's been many predictions about which way this super final would go one of the predictions was the fact that both that these two teams would make it here and that one has come true but as to who's going to win this and for that matter the men's final i don't think anybody really nobody knows we're just going to have to wait and see and watch enjoy and be put through the ringer depending on which team you're supporting right now it's vacate bank in the driving seat in this first set goonesh through the middle [Music] [Applause] that's a top swing from gabby but again though it's on that angle she's still got that little turn inside doesn't she as she swings on the ball but able to get past it was a massive block because stepped into the middle [Music] oh that's awesome from gabby eventually the ball goes down foley puts it on the floor running the middle in transition so much pressure on the middle but the other side dronish didn't really know what to do she was thinking about going the other way to the outside initially and that little movement that would switch that way there's enough of water to go to the middle coming into the action there laura caballo outside hitter has played as a libro as well touch designer stays in play and again better touch this time chance for a swinging gun off the block and away game on two in it something for vacuum bag to think about as we come to the business end of this first set what a set from follow that's brilliant not planning stations just yet for that bank caravella to serve once more there's a chance here for caneliano can someone have a swing maybe he'll can only push it long that might well have been going out butch hackley played it anyway nice cover bit tight caneliano a chance for that is a brilliant swing from isabella hack to get it off the block and out of play there were hands practically in her face here that's awesome from isabella hack set point vac bank up against it you would it put your money on paulo and gonna to come up with the goods she has done and the first set point is saved but really good opportunity now for vacuum bank to get it done from side out decided to call a timeout okay size good statue is good because only two is good three and go two points an easy lead for that keith bank gives them the first set here in the super finals in verona taking it 25 22 and they lead one nothing [Music] [Music] maybe [Music] [Music] [Music] so one ace a piece cleliano with three blocks but it was the unforced errors that caused the issue paragon are making far too many [Music] so this is where the attacks have been coming from for that bank not that much through the middle for a team that really does go after it where they can off of a decent ball in but that maybe contribute that then to some really good serving from caneliano and they've not allowed it to happen here are the highlights from the set [Music] [Music] [Music] just the start that the bank wanted taking the opener settling any nerves and now we move into the second set caneliano under the cosh a little bit haven't really been firing on all cylinders say that either team have been their absolute best at the moment we've had some amazing rallies and some great individual pieces of skill but consistency is going to get oh dear that definitely wasn't meant for the middle because that would have been the quickest of quicks of all time look at that it's an unforeseen error for ganesh that was meant for the middle and that one is put off the block and away that's great play for mognianovic after that initial hiccup goes back gets the middle re-establishes ganesh all good pressure on foley lucky back with the point [Music] [Applause] [Music] um good touch somehow de genera did not touch the net it doesn't matter because hacks has made sure the ball has touched the floor with some authority that's how you hit a down ball well played by bart hackley and now it's free ball back for vacate bank and uh an 80s style bit of volleyball from bart hackley looked a little bit catch and throwy i'm sure perfectly fine nice big power throws the line perfect perfectly legal saw in the first set with miriam silly had a similar opportunity she tried to hit a winning ball and made an error in that last play butch hackley knows the situation she's in gets the ball keeps it in play and from that that keep banker able to engineer a point this time caneliano get their side out [Applause] good use of the block [Applause] [Music] nice play great to watch the slow motion and see how the game develops no chance for ognenovich that last play [Music] massive hit [Music] 101 kilometers an hour no stopping that [Music] oh good pick up [Music] and again another good pick up that time for my catch and hack hammers it to the floor isabella hack boy in 1999 21 years of age played for sweden in the junior nebser that's the north european volleyball zonal association tournaments and now playing one of the best club sides on the planet and doing what she does best that's good blocking from gabby just left a little bit of line tempting draft in fact only put one hand up brilliant just cut away the inside that's an unforced error from de craft oh craft to serve [Music] the covering another chance for that keith bank kim hill holds the ground well we've gone up oh good touch from barch hackley that's some swing from hack good defense great rally this one oh bolwash has a go and eventually it goes down in the end the set are deciding that she's the player that can get it done there's some great moments there's a great touch from bach hackley but this swing from hack is incredible we don't get to see that which is a shame but the skill involved to put that keep that ball in play and then borrow goes on a slide again [Music] that's fabulous what a great swing it is going through the middle rafaela foley but the timing of that one this is an a quick almost a zero tempo up and down the ball is hit and puck doesn't even move here goodness she's still trying to get up above the net and the ball's already gone behind her some pace on the middle coming from caneliano they're playing bank at their own game in that department that won't come back just saw two middles and two very different types of middle a quick ball in front of the center and then there's a two meter shoot away from the setup trying to spread corneliano's block trying to make it difficult for them to stop ganesh always going to be becky banks ball and now they lead by two [Applause] [Applause] so you're still having a few ups and downs with their passing which is causing issues for corneliano having been replaced it's the same story and unsurprisingly mackenzie adams who's just come on has been the player targeted in serb receive pick up another point okay i want quality on the first touch and then asha doesn't run in this way yeah okay quality on pass you have the possibility you have the quality to do this yeah okay then close the net and quality on set okay aggressive in attack let's go that's the receiving accuracy it's not been great has it i mean that's quite a wide area as well that green area is not really what you would call the the best spot for the setup ideally it needs to be rounded out where that 54 is just across from there and just up from there towards the middle so that you can spread the play forwards and backwards in front and behind however you want to phrase it big swing for me [Music] [Applause] once you get the setter into the middle of court to the two and a half three mark then you've got options you can really spread the opposition block by moving the ball quickly to the wings good work grenache great setting again from above [Music] she's orchestrating the lead very nicely for her team at the moment finding gunesh and also by hack and again that keith bank done brilliantly they slowed the ball down that is an amazing piece of play from vacate bank to stop caneliano with two continuation blocks then to slow the ball down and get it into transition and what they do run the middle be quick grassich finds the gap between the blockers point back each bank again puts it away but she has been pretty much a spectator so far in this game piece of ball by mackenzie adams a player rumored to be leaving the club after this season not sure where she's going to be going another player as well rumored to be leaving is lucille chikwell the french player who's uh the opposite second opposite for corneliano he's also rumored that megan courtney's coming in to caneliano as kim hill retires so a few changes are put as there normally is after the end of a season for most clubs looking for a challenge here was there a touch [Music] sometimes in matches like these when you're in a final it can go in the blink of an eye and can become a bit of a blur while you're playing and the artist to really just try and calm down slow down take stock of the situation it is a touch from iganu against rasich not get lost in the moment but to be focused and in the moment foley for caneliano excellent ball in things up it worked that last little movement beforehand from ogenovich stopped it from making that play vitally important in indoor volleyball that when you're defending when the spiker leaves the floor in other words when the spiker jumps so once they jump before they hit the ball you as a defender have to be still you can't be fighting for position anymore you have to fight to keep the ball off the floor so you need to be still and in a neutral position so that you can play the ball that comes at you chase the ball down that goes off the block clink into whoever is playing the ball unforced error from the serving line and thank you bank creep in front by one this one is a much closer second set [Applause] [Music] just brilliant at her best lovely ball in from de janeiro after that has clipped the net so look at those reactions to volley and then a vop off the knees practically and a swing from up near the ceiling for me gonna put that one on the floor will she end up after this finals is a nice slo-mo like we just saw and the graphic that just says simply the best who knows it doesn't come down to one player it might be one player who has to swing to get the point as we've just seen with hack or even the player that has the swing to get the match or the serve whatever it might be but it's a team effort right now the team of aqui bank are keeping themselves ahead with canelianu who are getting their rhythm and finding more opportunities to score their side out game is better it's funny isn't it how again but celia wasn't playing badly some good blocking some nice hitting hadn't got a serve going wasn't passing great she comes off mackenzie adams comes in and the rhythm of the team for caneliano just seems to be a little bit more where they want it to be they look a little bit more settled at the moment but it's still only a few points into the resubstitution oh that's nice oh what a swing from balor ganu you can hear the impact from contact to touch there's two massive booms boom boom and then it pinballs into barchackly gosh great you watch the way that she opens her shoulder hips open and then fires from her hip through and her shoulder is then sending her hand through at lightning speed through that ball is also a player who can do exactly the same but [Laughter] yeah yeah that's how far out it was it wasn't that far right was it that looks in i think it was the fact that she was uh it was it was miles in so was she over the oh he is looking at you now i was going to say because yeah it's comfortably in i think that's why uh caneliano's coach santorelli was saying it's that far out because he knew it was in a little bit of sarcasm from santorelli thought for a second that it might have been that hack was uh backcourt player and had footballed but it wasn't it was just a wrong call and it's been sorted out hasn't it the floor great play from hack oh is it mid court mid midcourt it's a mid-court action it's a mid-rally challenge did that ball hit the floor while wash with the second ball over now you can do this if you're new to the challenge system you can challenge mid rally which is a huge bonus to be able to do that because if you've seen something that's happened like a net touch has not spotted like this where the ball may well have hit the floor and also one of the really good places to use it which has really changed the way that referees referee the match is on four touches when the ball goes into the block or into the net and it's deemed not to have touched the block referees now just tend to let that one go and put the onus on the blocking side to call a mid-rally challenge to say we didn't touch it because that particular stat and that particular challenge has shown that 99 of the time the ball hits the net and hits the block yep i think that one you can put your hands that far wide as centauri didn't say yet completely missed it just communicating with the challenge referee there was there was no touch it touched the floor the change for caneliano in the first set to serve she's coming again in the second [Music] caneliano then with their noses in front in this second set that's not caught gabby i don't think no it hasn't gabby rather hasn't caught the block he did catch gabby that's for sure trying to get it off the block a bit of improvisation didn't work out [Music] always always leave it all easy and if we don't go strong against the world's receiver is complicated [Music] interesting from guadetti because they knew okay vacuum back knew that cilia was the worst receiver for caneliano so they were going after going after going after her and now they've got her off court so now who's the worst receiver so you get that part done you've gotta have a backup plan haven't you and that's the choice of right if we get cydia off court who's the next player we're going after you can't suddenly go oh we've done that now what do we do so they're talking about going after kim hill they certainly went after mackenzie adams to start with entitled to put her hands up the way she did she's not allowed to move her hands to the net as the ball comes against it because that would be a fault but she can just put them there and then the ball hits the net and hits her arms there's no fault and it does change to obviously the trajectory of the ball substitution reversed job done as far as keneliano concerned with regards to jinari with the serve into a really strong rotation with hakk and ganesh gabby in the front row but it's side out he's got a little view he's got a camera everyone's got cameras nowadays haven't they and he's have a look i'll tell you what there's a shadow over that isn't there the ball shadows the line chances are it's caught it because the ball compacts down onto the floor when it hits it which is something that came out of the challenge technology [Music] that's another connection issue between ganesh and ognienovich twice now that's happened in this set right at the beginning and then here now i think you know she's running a b and goodness is coming on an a few more issues from uh they're looking for touch here but ognenovich just set that voice off the net she set it away from gabby so gabby's now trying to chase it trying to get a hand on it make something happen as opposed to putting the ball just on the line she was on in which case gabby then could have had a swing on the ball so let's see did gary get it off the block can't see anything from that that looks like no touch [Applause] and you'd certainly think oh i don't know but then when you look at that that looked like it perhaps did watch the ball is there a movement then on the ball so difficult this is it to tell paulo didn't touch me which in that instant probably tells you all you need to know change for that keith bank on comes joe sue as bay who's coming in as set up so those couple of sets from ogninovic that didn't go where they wanted was enough gudetti to give her the hook and bring in earthbay [Applause] get the side out that's probably one of the toughest positions to come in on as a substitute is the setting role but we've seen that i've seen those who that followed that bank will have seen jiaozu as they come in and turn matches when you are a setter when you are the second string you're always looking for that opportunity to get into the action and show what you can do and tell the coach hey i should be here i should be starting this is a wasted opportunity from corneliano foley way past that sideline brought from adams good after gennaro oh well played that has become the new tip in volleyball and i remember we were doing it and coaching it with the england cadets and everyone's like you can't do that you can't tip the ball long well yes you can look you can it's legal and into that corner there's never anybody defending it there brilliant work that by caneliano they're moving closer here to taking this second set and leveling things up timeout has been called but the game goes at such a pace now so difficult to now side out which is who we have everything is good okay ball in the middle of the net you can place not open either sorry to stop mid-sentence but you want to hear what gudetti has to say far more than you want to hear what i have to say just talking about going back to the point about how quickly the game is in in rally and the decision-making speed of what's going on but it's something that you can't just walk into but you have to be match ready on the sideline and be able to do that which is what ersbay has done another chance here for vacuum bank to get 20. no not going to happen that's a huge huge block what's going on here palo agano is getting on through that i think they've been giving us a net touch against caneliano but it wasn't the ball's come off hack and gone into the net here so what's the decision let's have another look at this that ball's blocked down and into the antenna there's definitely no touch by paulo egono here she's saying that's come off my forearm and gone down so it's definitely all right well interesting maybe she was sitting it did touch her but she would never have done that still alive good angle well picked up by hill mckenzie was uh getting ready to have a swing denied from her hat can only tip the genero that's too tight oh brilliant just keep giving it to paula gonna she'll find a way through in a moment well let's give it to her two tights the net let's give it to her slightly off the neck let's make sure she doesn't have any room to have a jump of any height any kind but still keeps rally alive and then eventually if i watch the score and then you can have one you can actually swing on and she puts it away just magnificent from paulo and gone away from taking the second set hill let's slow down and that's just too tight too not even she could have a swing on that one a sir for that bank there's a good time to come up with one and who is it of course it is isabella hack the one time where you are in total control of the ball and she's come up with an ace right into that panic channel such a good serve looking for another one that's a brilliant pass and an excellent side out for corneliano to bring up set point what a pass that was from caravello that's the first pass she's made in the match she's come on to serve and play d and then puts a ball on a silver platter for volosh to find to cry through the middle and caneliana now have set right back at you this time with the help of the net from paulo it gonna caneliano take the set 25-22 and it is one all here in the super finals verona [Music] uh well that's the same ace tally as the first set but they aces in this one came right at the very end didn't they this is corneliano and similar situation to the first set that bucky frank had more attacks from the right hand side of court so harlow again and isabella hack that's the teams that are the players that are being used more although this side looking slightly more of a difference in set two where the ball was going more to the outside with caneliano and they use the middle an awful lot look at that it's a really good spread actually isn't it pretty equal across the zones doesn't tell us that some of that middle attack will be from the pipe as well from the backcourt but there haven't been that many from either side it's a really good set win that for caneliano i think if they'd lost that second they could have been in real real trouble here are the highlights [Music] [Music] the comparison between hakkiniganu 62 success rate six errors though for me so 17 points 15 points only two errors from heck which is something that i think those of you who are watching would have noted and certainly you've heard me remark upon that the error rate from iguano is quite high at the moment away we go with the third set it's one set all here in verona at the cv super finals and the first point goes to corneliano and no surprise as well that uh adams has kept her place mackenzie adams on court in front of miriam celia through the outside it's a conundrum for corneliano that that they've been trying to solve all season really in that one part of the court nice work from adams that one hasn't quite found the corner from bart hackley adams with a similar approach and swing to palo gano with that bent arm back that's better this time from michelle as she goes to the same place but this time gets it off of de genero and out of play nice pass keith bank research was waiting for that one off of foley now they've got a chance in transition themselves hack dig from mackenzie adams oh what a good up that is from gabby down ball well played nobody ready for corneliano that's poor from kim hill now she gets out but it's too tight is it no oh that's incredible you want to see it from bolwash he's back caught was it over the net that's always the so probably one of the trickiest areas oh yes it really was wasn't it when you look at that my duke i think the net looks to be a little bit further over than the center line but even so as she brought that back was there enough of the ball on her side on a postcard that's a really debatable point in terms of the way it went but it's caneliano who have it flapping her lines from [Applause] service so she can go and sit down and reflect on that for a moment she's replaced by the libero in for that keep frankie's i catch the starting libero and it'll be hack with the serve she's already had an ace in this match another bruising sir from her but well past good deed from gabby available on the pipe but it goes to hack news comes on a bit of an inside 10 because they want to run the slide behind becky bank because rasic's just gone behind hack has to stay in front and it does squeeze gabby a little bit so she's kind of out of the play doesn't really matter from that point of view because caneliana couldn't stop what keith bank were doing good serve again well i'll tell you what that one looked to be no different to the early one did it that's the subjective nature of volleyball on certain areas is that any further over than the last one no complaints from bolwash probably thinks he's got away with the last one anyway hat good serving run that's three now she's had in the bank so able to really put some effort into it paula logano effortless as she hammers that one away peace [Music] less said about that one the better even the best players make mistakes while showing the strength of the net gabby went up didn't really press and was not in a good position in the air wasn't strong enough hill to serve dealt with by bart shackley dispatched by gabby lovely speed of attack whipped out wide and there's no way that the middle can get in quick enough there's a gap which is exploited [Music] readies herself to serve [Applause] i don't think that ball got above her head then when she served that contact point looked very low foley and deprived nice work from ganesh reestablishing the middle reestablishing herself as well as the setter a little bit too quick for adams oh that's brilliant from volosh oh that's a shame disinaro couldn't scoop it around enough as she went after it what a really brilliant piece of individual skill there we go any part of the body will do once it doesn't hit the floor some of you may not even know this but it used to be that the ball had to be played above the knee just having a chat by players getting up allowed to getting away and his coaching staff leaving the bench they did during the rally she's not allowed well watched by gabby that keith bank pulling away here from caneliano caneliano with too many errors i wonder what hill is doing here number 15 you're watching hill she's not not ready for that at all just busy watching pay attention they can change their circle okay move defeat is important okay balance and then we can put the bugger there okay okay english and italian so everyone can understand exactly what needs to be done so six [Music] this is possible that she's just trying too hard that's well played foley had a swing at that wasn't sure perhaps if it was going to be for her kenti adams it is who puts it on the floor follows up swings doesn't get it keeps gunish with their one-on-one then through the outside the hack was too late to play from gabby it's always going to be favoring corneliano with that dang ball so they pull a point back [Music] oh hack once again the go-to player lots of movement around yanovich to make it difficult for the block to get set and to close down anybody very nicely done by mackenzie adams on that right side of court [Music] oh points keep coming at the moment for vacate bank nicely done by hill [Music] [Applause] let's get balling from mackenzie adams he's had it started at virginia university they went to texas at san antonio university for a college volleyball then played in india's day mayor gayes before moving on to germany where she played for ladies in black arkhan ssc palmer experience it's a great block absolutely brilliant that one off the block in the way i mentioned at the top of the show earlier on that mackenzie adams whilst at finale anna now was leaving the club and she's actually going to turkey so she'll be playing against blackheath bank on numerous occasions to come this is going to is asabashi oh what a good serve that is it's got corneliano out of system but brilliant from hill and now it's bank out of system free ball hoisted high to the rafters three front court attacking options here plus the pipe good dig by eye catch another free ball chance although almost caught caneliano out and eventually it's put away by a gonu she's just trying to work her way back into the match you're gonna you just feel that she's still trying to find a comfortable rhythm certainly a ball like that is one that she will put away all day long she's over the top of the block and nothing anyone can do about that as long as if she's hit past it she's hit over it unforced error camilliano back to within one little bit of tension for vacuum [Music] that'll be brought back into play oh good swing from bart hackley good dig by gabby and a massive hit from hark that isn't dealt with by paolo iguano perhaps you should have done better it was right that was just to the left over she got turned by that ball didn't get one shoulder under the other the chance to go back on level terms there's gone back bank in front by two inside ten dispatched by gonu [Music] almost a unique power is a unique part of the women's game of volleyball you don't see this in the men's game because the men don't run a slide behind and i say that of course there are exceptions to the rule and there's one team that has done it on the international stage that's brazil with lucas running a slide behind that time igonu gets the dig on hark and then gets it off the block and away so she'll be delighted with that [Music] and corneliano now level things up at 15 apiece very calm from you guys she wasn't trying to rush in and just waited gets her timing every time she opens up doesn't she absolutely looking to rip that volleyball apart with her hand didn't catch any of the block it was to the side of the block and then the net changing the parabola the trajectory of the ball and it doesn't find the call so just like that an unforced arrow from back east bank femiliano in front hill with the serve great block from barwash she's been wiped off a couple of times by gabby this time she turns and angles her body back inside so the ball goes straight down and in fact a little bit of decrypt as well getting involved come on two yeah he's not pushing you're just going back he's not really pushing so we go uh hill once again from the serving line excellent ball in plenty of options and obviously hack being one of them stopping the run of canelliano brasics gets in front overloading on the right-hand side of court hammer and sickle stuff as the ball then comes back on her own oh what a block that's a monster block indeed that one went down faster than it was hit oh damn what a block that is and a celebration to move very nice play by corneliano mackenzie adams with the swing but had a gap in the block courtesy of all the other movement going on around volosh and look at that that movement spreading the block wide keeping the middle fixed and opening up the gaps to go into once again to adopt her serving and defending role see just a spectator at the moment had her chance in the first set was a bit wobbly was replaced halfway through the second no chance of hack being replaced she brings tacky fang back level [Music] that was some pass as well from issa who's coming to court number nine for bank [Applause] very quick hit from adams that's almost an e-quick tandem play really no chance for the middle to get out anywhere near adams wide hat coming back inside adams had no idea where this ball was going i don't think she lined up hack at all still though both teams out of system and it relies on some individual brilliance from isabella hack to give vague bank the point and put them into the 20-point zone they're now in the lead right at the business end of the set back into the action into the front row gabby with the serve he was taken out so that [Music] amelia is coming and play defense it's gonna be a challenge here to see whether or not that bank have got that point was there a block touch not according to the official review much nice work from caneliano [Applause] [Music] oh what a block from hill one on one they're the best when you make those kind of blocks those of you that have done will know exactly how hill's feeling as he's just shut down hack six blocks to one for caneliano but even so it's still lucky bank who get their side out that time hack just goes past the block as if it wasn't there because it wasn't anywhere near here nice ball in by disinaro but a great block from rasage quite amazingly just the second block for becky bank but it puts them to within two of the second set doesn't matter when you get them it's what they're worth isn't it what they do to the momentum loving it i catch loving it timeout caneliano [Music] [Music] foreign what a time to come in and not perform gustames couldn't make anything happen and now calavera comes in to serve as she has done throughout this match that's a huge number of service errors for corneliano good up caravello [Music] bank will come knocking again hack huge and it's set point for that keith [Applause] bank stand up now everybody hack was huge so too is paolo iganu but now she needs to be even huger although that's a word but she needs to come up with something from the serving line that's for sure great swing could watch her play all day long same two can be said for hack timeout called by becky frank [Music] [Music] set point for keith bank caneliano with the serve with paulo and gonna they probably wouldn't want anyone else there really because paragon has got a jump server she can get it going she could get an ace she could get back if bank out of system it could get them the point they need to get level or she could make an error not out of system hack for the set continuation block tackle want to pick up caravello but it's not gone in and it's an error from agonu is celebrating as if they've won the match they haven't done that but we're gonna have a challenge what's this in it has to be in for canelli oh no it's not in it is out but it is going to be the set racics knew it grenetti knew it by keith bank know it we're going to be told it unless unless paulo gonna has hit this ball so hard that it is squished down so much that it's caught a bit of the line that's the only hope they got now [Music] i'm not sure she could have hit it any harder [Music] oh we're looking for a net touch okay well there was no net touch and it was out so it is the end of the set vacate bank take it they lead 2-1 here in verona at the cv champions league super finals um hardly surprising there's very little between the two teams in terms of the stats for that set it was neck and neck it was all about the unforced errors and when they happened really to cause the flow of the game to go the way it did and the biggest reason that camilla didn't stay in it was because of the unforced error at set point this is vacate bank the best spikers at the moment hack 25 gabby seven bart checklist six it has become a did become didn't it a little bit of let's get the ball a hack in that second set particularly when they weren't in system they didn't have all their options which is why hank's there and that's why she's got 25 points here are the highlights [Music] [Music] an interesting end to that third set some of you may watching may have thought that the coach had challenged the wrong thing because of the ball in egg was it in all right but when we saw from the replay that it was quite a long way out and there's and it was seen by the coach of perhaps just clutching at straws really looking to see if there was a nectar just something to try and keep caneliano in the set there wasn't anything for them they've lost the setback bank 2-1 up there one set away from victory pressure now really on canelianu although kim hill you wouldn't think so not been used as much as all set well and truly underway and keith bank take the opening point self recovered by adams and a big block by bart hagley to deny mackenzie adams and put bucky bank two nothing up guimaras with the service been quite an incredible achievement by that keith bank they've only missed the champions league final four once in 11 seasons really are one of the most consistent teams of champions league history a block back [Music] as foley makes a point for caneliano and we're all squared [Music] [Applause] goodness coming up with the point nice in from march hackney frontcourt swing he's able to get out stretch the block leave fully stranded in the middle gooness able to get past her easily don't have to hit it hard all the time still get the same score if you tip it and it goes in get a block out it's one point foley with the serve well worked off the block by barch hackley it's quite an incredible achievement for bank istanbul in terms of champions league appearances i said 11 final fours four golds four silver's a bronze and they've got three world club championship titles as well as the numerous domestic league and cup titles in turkey probably the world's most decorated club of the century in women's volleyball looking for a fifth title here and they're going the right way about it but corneliano know that they have a fight on their hands and they will give it everything they have got for all harlow with the serve [Music] good balloon from gabby meliano have it into transition hill dark by eye catch just getting out of the way and that's too far away from gabby it's getting a little crowded out there on court for caneliano but the tandem worked very nicely the speed of that so little chance for the middle it's so much time pressure on gracienco in those situations much the last time these two teams met was in the semi-finals of the world club championship uh the game that lives long in the memory for both teams and for those that watched it was a nail-biting tie break that went in the way of kenelianu and it was became the palo agano show as well because they were match point down kim hill serving and they got all the way back in front and then eventually went on to take it [Music] with another big block just when they needed it this time to crowl good movement from her to deny hack everybody not getting too carried away staying focused staying in the now that really is the mantra for volleyball you have to stay in the now you can't think about the next touch the next play the next point got to be in the now what i got to do now at this moment there's no point thinking about going out for a hit if you haven't made the dig yet such like one foot slide behind [Music] puts the ball away gabby going a little too far wide and trying to cut back inside with the hands didn't work that was pinballing around eventually the point goes away at that bank hack will come up and be credited with the kill found the gap didn't see between foley very nicely [Music] to serve that puts paolo and paolo igano into the front row mckenzie adams and rafaeli foley but there's no stopping that swing from gabby just knows exactly how to use gabby that speed is what she wants good effort from bart hackley but unfortunately when it comes off the hand like that could go anywhere [Music] ends up going away from everybody else [Music] mackenzie adams served excellent ball in options hack being one of them and that's good work by cornelia to slow it down get transition and get igonu going corneliano lead by three now some thinking for grenetti to do so small margins just getting a touch on the ball makes such a big difference because as soon as you can slow it down you got a chance to transition it adam's not finding her mark good dig no double called against barch hackley good hands from her but caneliano come again ognenovich couldn't get her hips under the ball far enough to angle the ball up in the air and keep it on her side of the court mcconnell gets the point caneliano keep their lead first time with his hips behind the ball from ganesh second time hips didn't get far enough under the ball [Music] [Applause] looking at the way hack plays and being as good as she is and then she hits the ball so well if she could learn to pass she'd be snapped up wouldn't she buy clubs because imagine that hack and a gono on the same team it's a bit like anderson and mahalo in the men's game playing for zenit anderson actually in the usa opposite but playing as an act was playing as an actor ahead of zenit my high lovely russian opposite playing in the opposite slot oh i say what a swing someone's just had a warm-up hit and taken that one to spiketown oh my goodness it's gotta be one of the greatest hits of the finals absolutely fabulous oh that was risky classic average though not afraid to try anything an audacious attempt at putting the ball over on two but it's corneliana lead by four in this fourth set the difference are two quality on defense one because we are defending and we play from all from outside the code they want the ball of kimberly we have to defend the middle of the court second hey when they have bad tempo it happened already 10 times he said stay tip and we don't take the tip when we are back tempo we give point to them [Music] classic with etti starts off all cheery and smiley and then you can turn very quickly and get quite that's well left oh bush [Music] that keep bank not going away are they as you would expect that break point off of the side out from 11 now putting them right back in this set [Applause] nice blockade [Applause] caneliana did really well considering that was by very high standards not the best of serves because it's been volleyed in by bart hackley ball goes out wide but a little high and it was caneliano able to get onto it and slow it down make the block [Applause] [Music] yes [Music] it's getting better and better for [Music] corneliano [Music] [Music] does well just keeps it in play another chance maybe good up for mcdonough with the pancake oh fatigue that's going to be over mckenzie adams knew that couldn't resist because it was going out good jig rasich barch hackley's got it off the hands fakie bank still in this one oh [Music] you have to say mackenzie adams being on court but corneliano has made a big difference to them [Music] all for the better [Music] generally get away with it lovely play from gabby's all she could do is put the roll on it off of that set from just by a double substitution to keep things ticking over here for black bank oh massive massive block grenache and hack closing down anything that mackenzie adams thought she had going just disappeared that's huge hack all over it good work from the gonu four players beaten in by gonna two blockers and then the two defenders [Music] attached from hill and a massive swing for mcgonagano thank you yes we don't want something in the middle okay we don't want something in the middle let's go and long time they don't care about our middle at all a long time and they are playing without our middle at all so we so that's probably the most vital bit of information from gudetti to ogninovic is that they're not even bothering about our middle here so let's wake him up a bit let's find it let's get it running again and if they are getting their middle running and keeping caneliano interested it means that that opens up spaces out wide barrage to serve he gonna into the front row with kenzie adams and foley there it's a good lineup and straightaway goes to the middle and they come up with a point see how many times now octane if it does go to the middle off the back of that timeout good sir from gabby hill shanks the ball into the floor chance to get level not gonna happen what a block by mackenzie adams [Music] gets a one-on-one against hack that'll make her feel great because she got blocked by hack just a few points prior and she gets her own back on hack caravello has done really well every time she's coming and made it an important touch or a play but is unable to get anything on that one side out achieved by a vague bank that's the value having gone to the middle it meant that foley now is never going to get out wide to that ball it's a really quick ball act of arch hackly as well in oh it didn't hit the floor caneliano thought it had they were celebrating pretty much they were beginning to come together into a huddle that's a great dig haravalo and a good one from vawash still it won't hit the floor but now he dies off the block and away from the heart a point that corneliano thought they'd won and has ended up being a leveling point for that keith bank nice work by varwash but all for nothing in the end okay okay those high ones that's it where she's been hitting my keith bank have leveled things up just when perhaps we thought it might be going to a tiebreaker bank having other ideas here potentially sided out by iganu and that's the key here for keneliana they got to keep their side out game intact now no matter what but also they will need a break point a point from service so there's advantage caneliano in that front that keep bank need two break points for them to take the set and with it of course they would take the match being two one up as they are chance here for canelianu that was looking for a touch so there's going to be a challenge i'll tell you what that if it comes up as a touch off the block is an incredible hit and if not better than the one she pumped into the floor with no block because that ball has come over her head and she's had to turn with the ball and then pick up what's going on at the net to make something off that that was by no means an easy swing for a gonu oh i'll tell you it's close but it didn't catch barchley unit has to be in tip-top form you need to get off this rotation straight away good ball in from hill hack oh well played disinaro it's a bit tight good hands again from vacate bank at the net oh clever play from batch hackly a little roller just chipping it over the top when everyone was expecting a big booming swing shaped up like she was and then played a little role that boris couldn't get to that keith bank in front [Music] brilliant and that wasn't easy [Music] the cry coming in on the middle she's got hardly any angle here look how far over she is but make sure she swings that back towards the court a little bit keeps it in play and whilst it's doug it's dug out of play points corneliano mcgonner with the serve by keith banks siding out for a match point opportunity not gonna happen overpass hill puts it away and caneliano now have a set point chance brilliant serving that's come up with the point for corneliano total focus from paolo iguano it's another big serve well dealt with by bart hackley hack that's not found the sideline the set goes to caneliano 25-23 we're going to a tiebreaker we were always going to a tiebreaker weren't we this is just exactly what we wanted to see as neutrals well that's a big miss as well from hack no need for a challenge on that one just trying to get hills fingers didn't find them again istanbul throughout this match but it hasn't changed the fact it's still 2-2 we're still going to tie break and it's still anyone's for the taking [Music] so so so hack versus segundo 30 points each but look at the error rate for mcconnell 13 that's been the bane of her match really pack only making four but one of those was cost the set the same two though for a gonu in the i think it was the second wasn't it or the third it's not about the number it's about when they happen really you could only make one error if isabella had zero errors right now but we get to 14 13 down she has a swing and misses and her only error of the game is one but it costs him the match so it's always more to it than just the stats that you see so this is it it comes down to this now a race to 15. gotta still win by two clear teams will change ends as soon as one team reaches eight points everybody's giving it their all but only one team is going to be victorious and over the next few dramatic minutes we're going to find out exactly who tiebreak underweight caneliano with the serve the cv champions league super final nice take by eye catch good up for mcconnell it was all a little bit congested and warwash's decision to go to the middle turns out not to have been the right one but do you blame bologna do you blame gunish finnish is the one that got blocked oh sorry goodness she's the one that made the block against folly there's no blame attached to finish it's a great block nice ball from hill only the second time that canelo have run that half ball in the middle that time it didn't work bank really have they've not made all the kill blocks that caneliano have made but they have made so many touches to slow the ball down to get it into transition that's been the difference that's given them the chance to have swings they've definitely made more touches of the ball by the blockers than caneliano have it's another one good color from gabby she was waiting for the long throw oh dear me classic from paulo legano as an opposite player that ball's come over the net and ghana's first movement is away from the ball thinking about the hit to come so she wasn't in the now she was thinking ahead instead of playing that ball so as it comes over she backs out and voila she's then left stranded [Applause] this is an amazing start for vacate bank and a horrible opening to the tie break for caneliano called by caneliano [Music] gabby with the serve four nothing back heath bank great touch from ognenovich the ball hasn't hit the floor no challenge coming play continues now it does [Music] we're gonna still trying to work things out she works out how to get that one on the [Music] floor with the serve she's done as i mentioned before so good in coming in and helping to rescue situations bank trouble and that one is in from a gonu a break point early for corneliano from service which is what they need [Applause] really nice bump set from de genero dellavela once again got out by bolosh good touch in the block by hill brilliant teams train that so much the libero being the set up as long as she takes off from behind the three she can then set in the front row and she finds paolo agano beautifully and it's a joy to watch paolo igano in full flow this is a great comeback from caneliano from four nothing to three four well work that time by hack off the block and away so good on that side of the court that probably is one of the reasons why they wouldn't make a switch and leave a gono over on the other side to try and stop hack hill being a decent blocker as she is and has had success against her foley to serve caneliano very much back in this deciding set having been four nothing down looks a bit on the outside as opposed to being in but we're going to have a look challenge has been called it looked a lot closer than that didn't it on the replay [Applause] even though silly is not on court still very much a part of the team shouting screaming cheering helping apart and doing a bit oh great block he'll turn that back into the block of rasage somewhat didn't really go for the edges of the block trying to get it through the middle didn't work excellent pass there's no stopping caneliano when they can do that really good surf but once the ball is in and it's all the systems go for caneliano there's real trouble for the keith bank oh yes good block foley denying huck if anything hack was coming from into out and then try to come back inside again instead of coming from out to in [Music] lovely pass by eye catch get up from de janeiro agonu that's not coming back caneliano on a roll look at that face from they're gonna she means business now more than ever [Music] total concentration and focus it's like the light has gone on for a gonu and she said right had enough of this it's time to start [Music] playing teams change ends because we've got to eight points come at a bit of a timely moment really i thought vacuum banks a little bit of a break it just means that mcconnell has to stay focused and she certainly does look extremely focused here i wouldn't be surprised if she just takes a little bit off of her serve like she did with her first one just to make sure that he bank have to play it indeed she does a player who knows what needs to be done and that was unlucky caravallo made the touch but only into de genero and it was back he back had to work for that point wasn't given to them nice ball from hill well played to the middle de crawford pulling the trigger on that one that wasn't easy for hill either because that was come right over the top of the crowd she's got herself a free hit right in between resich and ognienovich good touch in the block oh yes good blocking from rasich she's brought inside and then vague bank able to double up on her in fact it wasn't even done it's a one-on-one for rasic that is brilliant massive block from reseach gusting is coming in to serve the job done for the moment a good serve free ball here for that bank and five attacking options gabby gets dug by agonu work for mckenzie adams to do it's still in play oh brilliant for me gonna keep bang come knocking again and through the middle but not found the court ganesh with the error and the hard work for corneliano pays off what a get that is and i said that igonu was focused and in the zone and that dig proves it drama [Music] mckenzie adams trying to get on to it the cry facing towards the opposite bench and that's where the ball went but nienovich is gonna serve and keep back into their strong rotation hack into the front row gabby and ganesh good up from oklahoma that's a massive dig and a massive swing from gabby we're all square [Applause] still absolutely no way of knowing which way this is going to go what a dig that is from objenovich and then gabby does what gabby does best finds the seam between the blocks [Music] well that one is away and gone foreign moving into rotation one with three front called attackers now still goes she's managed to get that off gabby in a way and that's a break point canelianu that was off what was he served hey to win we have to be stronger not weaker because we are weaker that's why we lose we don't go with good power [Music] [Applause] [Music] is saying that they're not attacking with full power like everyone's hitting the ball as hard as they can from here which way is it going to go wash back to the serving line that keith bank need this side out that's a full power swing from hack but the block slows it down and then he gonna with the cross court swing and caneliano are now two points away from victory good setting again from de genero how did you stop you're gonna when she can do that second time out by the bank santorelli pretty quiet pretty focused balance to serve again this is a brilliant run for caneliano that'll stay in play designaro makes a good touch mackenzie adams gets the roller hits the floor and it's now match point for caneliano they were four kneel down at the start of this tiebreaker and it was all smiles for the keith bank and now caneliano are four points in front and have match point what a turnaround what a point that was for mackenzie adams barwash to serve again gabby keeps that keith bank in it with a swing cross court and now it is by keith bank with backs to the wall probably swing that from gabby corneliano need the side out there's a net touch against forwash so second match point is saved caneliana i've got two chances to get this done from sideage and a timeout called by caneliano they're in rotation one which is a strong rotation but only two players are actually hitting in their normal well only one player hitting their normal slot and that's the middle okay [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay to serve has to get it in first and foremost and has to try and put caneliano under some pressure [Music] mcgowan oh not made it well i said it's rotation one it's a strong rotation so much as there's three front court players but egono is not hitting on the left side in this match and hits on the right mackenzie adams doesn't hit on the left she hits on the right and it's only the middle of foley that goes through the middle so she's the only one in the comfortable position in this rotation has this ball clipped the baseline have caneliano actually won it or have they got to go a try again have that bank saved a third match point oh it's taking its time isn't it there's anxious looks now that's a long wait for everybody eyes fixed firmly on the screen hands held for those of you at home probably no fingernails left here hearts pounding as their attack they look for a touch and a touch has been given it's caught hack and that's it it's done it's caneliano have won it's all over their first ever cv super final and caneliano have tried for so so long that they are now the champions of europe their first ever goals and they did it the hard way oh now the emotions and the tears can come that's the realization of a dream it's a grand slam for caneliano world club champions domestic league champions domestic cup champions domestic super cup champions and now european champions heartbreak for vacuum bank who are looking for a fifth champions league but it's not to be for them the final score here 3-2 for caneliano 15-13 in the tie break [Music] the celebrations will continue long into the night no doubt for kineliano and for the fans for all of you supporting them watching jumping around in living rooms or wherever you're watching from in utter joy for your team and it is tears of joy especially for foley who was in the last final and lost to that bank but has made it back again and has now won and has her gold medal and is a european champion [Music] [Applause] oh it's heartache for goonesh not to be for her this time off of a keith bank but that's the nature of sport the nature of this sport there has to be a winner there has to be a loser there's no draws and that's nice to see de genero put in a couple of absolutely brilliant sets for paulo putting a brave face on things but it's difficult to remain stoic when you've just given it everything you've got and it's not been good enough at the end but at least that key bank can do that oh and you have to feel for isabella heck heartache for her and for the rest of the team and for those of you supporting becky bank here are the stats and it's that top one that really it's the one that counts three sets for corneliano beating becky frank who only managed the two so [Music] foreign the players still celebrating as you might expect they don't want to leave the court they want to enjoy the moment what a moment it is for them unbridled joy for caneliano let's hear from kim hill kim what a fantastic match a five setter went down to the wire almost looked like vacaven could have come back but you guys executed better in the fifth how did you do it under such a tense circumstance i think we i think we did it purely by will power and wanting it so much um vacavong obviously is an incredibly strong team and that's what more could you want from a final you know like so close and so hard-fought and i'm so happy and so proud sorry so what does it mean i saw you celebrating so deeply with your team two years ago unfortunately disappointment this year with almost the same group what does it mean to go through that journey together as a group it's incredibly special so so so special especially after last season not being able to finish and wanting to sell badly and being able to come this year and do all the things we wanted to do it's there are no words really do you have anything else to say to all the fans watching uh i just want to say thank you to everyone especially our fans um our imoco fans are the best in the world and to not have them in the gym this season was was difficult but we love them and we love all of you and i love my family hey thank you kevin go celebrate with your team thank you thank you and everybody loves you kim what a great game it was and in the end it's imoko who have reigned supreme here in verona they've beaten becky back by three sets to two and are the champions of [Music] europe [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] it feels right alright [Music] it's all right hello i've been
